I know that you said without mods but there is a mod called meaningful stories that changes the way emotions work. The default emotional state is fine with the mod. I honestly cannot play without this mod. It makes emotions so much more realistic. Like they don't just get super happy all the time from being near items and furniture. Maybe that would be worth a try for you? It's a very stable mod that I've had no issues with what so ever for as long as I've had it in my game.
That could work, I've looked into mods but most of them seem less focused on feeling fine and more on helping define other emotions better so I've avoided them. Honestly emotions are cool but way overdone in this game as gameplay mechanic.
I see that creator also made a mod called True Happiness which buffs the fine state...not sure which would be better. Still would be nice to have an in-game way (wish they never removed emotion cheats) then a mod. A mod only works until the creator stops modding as it goes...
